Digest: Film Scanning considerations

This PrestoCentre digest summarises the considerations and decisions made in the context of a large-scale film scanning operation by the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision.

Sound and Vision guarantees the sustainable preservation of the Dutch national audiovisual heritage and makes it accessible to profes-ionals, educational institutes and the general public.

The considerations presented by the authors (Tom de Smet and Harm Jan Triemstra) are of most relevance to institutions or companies with large quantities of (16mm) film material to be digitised and that face time and budget constraints.

This PrestoCentre Digest is based on the original Technical Report written by Tom de Smet and Harm Jan Triemstra. The original Technical Report can be downloaded here.
